Meals started out great but when chef changed they weren't as good. For activities, a little more variety in musicians coming in would have been nice. Religious Sunday service was just televised. Price started out great but quickly escalated. This a based on 1 1/2 yrs ago and everything could be different now.... Read more
Birchwood Cottages is a family owned and operated memory care community surrounded by lively greenery.

Things are going great. The staff are attentive and respecting my moms needs. They have so many activities going on - they have her out doing things that she would have never done before. It is expensive but for what she is getting and in comparison to other places it is great. The director [name removed] - I have the utmost respect for her. She is hands on and attentive to the residents, she even takes my mom out for walks. I would absolutely recommend Birchwood Cottage, we feel fortunate to have gotten her in here.

Our experience has been a five plus and the care services are beyond a five plus. During the pandemic the activities were limited but they really did the best that they could. We like that the staff are very committed, the are more like family then a facility. You can just tell they really care about the residents, we do not have to worry about her being there. On Facebook they have pictures showing the residents participating in all the different activities.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
